So you've been playing for a long time, as most addicts...... And only registered 10 days ago on the forums?  Let me get in line to listen to your thoughts more often! 
Also..... I fixed most of the spelling and grammar for you.  You're Welcome.  Stop cutting your English class!

But enough of that, you'll forgive my aggression......

The game is dirt cheap now and the updates take a while because 7 people in Grapevine, TX do all the work.  And they do it this way so they don't have to raise the price too darn much.  But as so many of my friends and enemies have already stated.........  I'd take an increase in price if they were going to hire another fulltime developer or two!  I would do it in a heartbeat and I think most of us "addicts" would too!

So because I haven't been registered with the forum my opinion matters less... good logic. I've always read the forum for films, tips and what not, just never bothered to register until recently, when i had the idea of self propelled artillery. I registered because I had a good, worth while idea to post, unlike your rude reply. Just answering would have be fine, like everyone else did.

Increase the monthly fee to $30, hire a few more developers, FIX all the inaccurate aircraft, ADD more aircraft, hone and fine tune the gv game, ADD more gv's,...

and once a player has been here for 12 mos.... their renewal is $15 a month.  HTC will retain a lot of people that way.
i think that people who has been forum active, as well as a active member to the game, and has been in the game for a year, would have the right to pay 15$, new people, or Inactive people regardless of years playing, would have to pay 25$

I don't mind the price, but I do mind that it's completely subscription based. I can't just make a payment whenever I decide want to play. Since some months I really can't afford it, I've had to stop playing to get rid of the hassle.

It doesn't matter of someone just started playing this morning or has been an active member for the last 7 years, they are still the customer and are entitled to the same monthly rates. HTC would probably lose a lot of it's revenue if it raised the bar to $30.00, you might see "as some seem to think" the more elite players only cruise these skies and all of our problems concerning immature players in the MA fixed though I seriously doubt it. It's easier for a parent to sit their kid in front of technology than it is to be an actual parent.

This game is priced exactly the way it should be.

The folks at HTC need to put food on the table too.  $15 a month is well worth it.

     Did they start holding guns to people's heads for the subscription price?
You don't think it's worth it, vote with your feet.  I'm very happy myself, so I
think I'll stay.

I seriously doubt HTC will change the price. In a year, off of about 1200 people (which is a rough estimate guessing how many people play all week, vs. people who only play for FSO... and so forth) they only make about $215K which is a lot of money, but when they spend so much of it on the game and modeling, I'm not sure how much they have left.
No one knows what the future may bring.
